After Sunny Deol lost his cool at the paparazzi earlier on Thursday, filmmaker Karan Johar stepped up to call out the paps for invading the Deol family’s private moments. Karan took to social media to express his frustration, adding that it was heartbreaking to watch a “media circus” around a living legend, Dharmendra, who is currently battling a health crisis. Now Ameesha Patel and Madhur Bhandarkar have also expressed their disappointment.

Actor Ameesha Patel took to Instagram to urge the media to show restraint. Sharing a note on her stories, she wrote, “I strongly believe the media needs to leave the Deol family alone at this time and respect their privacy.”



Similarly, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar also shared a message on Instagram, saying, "It's high time for the media to respect the Deol family's personal privacy. Let's offer them the peaceful space they truly need, especially during challenging times."

Their posts came just hours after actor Sunny Deol,  Dharmendra’s son, lost his cool at photographers stationed outside his home.

Sunny Deol loses cool at paps

As Sunny walked outside, he greeted the paps with folded hands before losing his cool saying, “Aap logon ko sharam aayni chaiyeh… Aapke ghar mein maa-baap hain, bacche hain... Ch******n ki taranh video liye jaa rahe ho.. Sharam nahi aati (You guys should be ashamed of yourself. You guys also have parents, have kids… Still are making videos like idiots… You should be ashamed of yourself)."

Dharmendra was discharged from the hospital on November 12. After his release, Sunny Deol's team shared a statement confirming that the veteran actor would continue his treatment at home. The statement also requested the public and media to respect the family's privacy during this period.

In a statement, Sunny Deol's team said, "Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family's privacy during this time."
